They seriously do that with ticks and Lyme ?

Well, I thought it was true. Then when I tried to find a link to post here, I found it's only sort of true.

They eat a ton of ticks. But, also they're resistant to lyme disease which sort of breaks the cycle and doesn't allow the tick to contract it. Or something along those lines. It appears some of the stuff I'd read before wasn't entirely true, but the gist is - possums help control lyme disease.
